Child development center hires new director
By Joyce Hensley
Change seems to be the current
w ord at the Boardman C hild
Development Center in Boardman.
according to the new director. An
na Peterson Surrounded by happily
playing children with bright colors
every where, she says, " w e hope to
accomplish a lot...w e have lot* o f
goals ”
The center, open from 6:30 a.m.
to 6 p m is now offering a day care,
latch key and morning pre-school
programs, is aiming for a reading
program for the children by the end
o f October, according to Peterson
“ Since it is not possible to transport
the children to the library for their
weekly programs, we hope to obtain
one or more volunteers to provide
one here at the C enter."
A reduced hourly rate for the
children is the biggest change plann
ed. “ Because o f the poor economy,
starting October I, we w ill reduce
our rates from $1.25 per child to SI
per ch ild,” said Peterson This will
be done without reducing any o f the
current services, such as free snacks
and meals
The non-profit organization, with
facilities to handle up to 38 children,
is also asking for donations to pro
vide material and labor for a fenced
play area, “ so the children will be
able to spend more time in the fresh
air and sunshine.”
A recent employee o f the Board-
man Enterprise, Peterson was voted
into her position as director by a
unanimous vote o f the board, con
sisting o f President, Jerry Donovan.
Secretary, Susan Tolar, members at
large. Pam tXvken. Carol Hardic,
Sue Russcii aad Vera Viall
Peterson says she likes the
challenge her new position offers
She moved to Boardman with her
family from Boise, Idaho, sis years
ago where they had lived for 17
years “ W e are originally from
M ontana." said Peterson
Peterson's husband, James, is
maintenance supervisor at la m b
Weston Die couple hgave a son and
daughter. James Ivan Peterson,
Portland, and Crystal Ann Richard
son, Itvirdman They also have four
grandchildren
“ Watch us, we re changing for
the better," says Peterson o f the

The products studied were (1 )
Y E A !, containing chitosan. a
derivative o f crabshell; (2) Amplify-
D. containing sodium phosphates
and adenosine monophosphate; (3 )
C A R D A K . containing supcrslurper,
a starch derivative. (4) Golden X,
containing Aspergillus oryzae in a
carrier o f sand washings, and (5) a
treatment which consisted o f passing
the seed through a Bio M ag
magnetic seed treater.
The three wheat varieties were
Stephens, Hill 81. and Malcolm, and
the test sites were Corvallis and
M oro
In these tests, these five seed
treatments did not increase yield,
even to the point o f returning the
farm er's investment in treated
seed The trials arc continuing and
may produce different results in the
future, but for now. the Extension
office is not recommending their
use.
